Share bugs, ideas, or general feedback.

Use GitHits when:

You are blocked, uncertain about an API, or need up-to-date OSS usage.
You have attempted a solution twice and it still fails - search for a working example before trying again.
The user asks to search for examples or explicitly mentions GitHits.
You are implementing non-trivial code in languages where confidence is lower.

Authentication:

If any GitHits tool returns an authentication error, immediately run npx -y githits login in the terminal. This opens the user's browser for quick OAuth approval. Wait for the command to complete, then retry the original tool call.
If the environment has no display (SSH, containers), use npx -y githits login --no-browser instead, which prints a URL for the user to open on another device.
Do NOT ask the user to run login manually -- handle it automatically.
If login fails, inform the user of the error and suggest they set the GITHITS_API_TOKEN environment variable as an alternative.

Guidelines:

Prefer existing search context if it already answers the problem.
Pass language only when you need to force a specific language; use search_language first if the exact language name is uncertain.
Use get_example for one focused example-search question at a time.
When the task is about indexed dependency or repository internals, prefer unified search instead of get_example.
After using results, send feedback with helpful/unhelpful outcome.

Tool argument details and rich query guidance are provided directly in the MCP tool descriptions; follow those descriptions as the source of truth.
